  • I started making 6 figures (barely. Literally salaried at 100k) a few years ago, from poverty wages. I get why people struggle around 100k. Its almost enough, but not quite, to comfortably live the american dream.

    It allowed me to barely afford a decent house where i live instead of perpetually renting. If I did not have low rent before, that probably wouldn’t have happened either way.

    Now I am tied to my job no matter how unhappy I am until I can afford some sort of change. Whenever that will be.

    These cost of living increases are making things significantly more difficult, but I can’t imagine how it’d be if I was never given any sort of a break.

    Makes me more sympathetic, and far more angry with this shit, knowing that I was probably one bad day away from being homeless instead.
